Shotgun Expert, 2nd Variant (5e Feat)

Shotgun Expert

You are adept in utilizing a variety of advanced techniques when it comes to wielding shotguns (auto, pump). You become proficient in firearms if you are not already, and gain the following benefits:

• You double the normal range of a shotgun you wield, and don't have disadvantage when making a ranged attack with it while a hostile creature is within 5 feet.
• Breach. Ranged attacks with a shotgun deal double damage to targets within 5 feet of you.
• Buttstroke. While you are wielding a firearm with two hands, you can choose to wield it as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient. If you hit with an attack made with it while wielding it in this way, you can choose to either deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage or, if the target is no more than one size larger than you, push the target back 5 feet. You can make this attack as a bonus action if you've taken the Attack action on the same turn.
• Ghost Load. If you are wielding a shotgun that has a reload of 3 or more shots, you can increase the maximum number of shots by 1.
